Anglicans call them Bidding-prayer.
Catholics call them Prayers of the Faithful.
In the Prayer of the Faithful (General Intercessions), the people respond in a certain way to the word of God which they have welcomed in faith and offer prayers to God for the salvation of all.
These prayers are offered for the holy Church, for civil authorities, for those weighed down by various needs, for all men and women, and for the salvation of the whole world.
As a rule, the series of intentions is to be
+ For the needs of the Church
+ For public authorities
+ For the salvation of the whole world
+ For those burdened by any kind of difficulty
+ For the local community
In particular celebrations, such as a Marriage or a Funeral, the intentions may reflect more closely the occasion.
The response of the congregation is usually, "Lord, hear our prayer."
With love in Christ.

*Is Catholic* If we are speaking about the liturgy here, I don't believe that there is room in the Baptismal Rite for you to be making up and adding your own prayers. I don't understand what your priest is trying to do. Perhaps everyone here needs to just focus on doing what the Church intends for baptism to be, do the red and say the black, instead of adding new prayers to the Rite.

When the Priest says 'Lord hear us' after each prayer,congregation replies 'Lord Graciously hear us'
Or,when Priest says 'Lord,in your mercy...' congregation says 'Hear our prayer'.
God bless,
